Abstract:	The proposed idea is to develop a web-based medical chat bot called "Medical Mate" that will be placed by every patient's bedside, serving as a companion, and providing necessary care and support. It aims to offer convenience and accessibility for patients while easing the workload of hospital staff. Usability tests, employing mixed methods research, were conducted to ensure the chat bot's design and functionalities meet user requirements. Medical Mate pivoted to a web-based application using HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery, and MySQL. Ultimately, the goal of Medical Mate is to be a helpful and reliable companion for patients during their hospital stay, offering care and reducing the burden on medical personnel.
